The forces were reportedly from the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), which released a statement today on the clash claiming the responsibility.
“Our forces inside Iranian Kurdistan were ambushed by IRGC forces,” a KDPI commander told Avatoday in condition of anonymity without denying or approving the number of causalities.
Avatoday obtained some information that at least three IRGC forced were killed and several others were wounded.
IRGC’s affiliated Tasnim News Agency cited earlier today that a “terrorist group affiliated with global arrogance (referring to the U.S.) was destroyed while it was trying to enter the country.”
